Can't say I'm keen on him, but I might be interested in getting this separately, as I like the LJQ a lot. What's the original title and issue of this one, please?

Well... But thanks very much Zed. MG I noticed that there is another session of the Latin Jazz Quintet with Eric Dolphy that isn't included in the Dolphy Prestige box: Latin Jazz Quintet With Eric Dolphy Eric Dolphy (as, bcl, fl) Felipe Diaz (vib) Arthur Jenkins (p) Bobbie Rodriguez (b) Tommy Lopez (cga) Louis Ramirez (tim) NYC, 1960-1961 You're The Cutest One United Artists UAL 4071 Speak Low - I Got Rhythm - A Night In Tunisia - Cha Cha King - I Wish I Were In Love Again - Lover - Mangolina - April Rain - * The Latin Jazz Quintet (United Artists UAL 4071, UAS 5071; Latin Jazz & Dance Records PLP 145) perhaps it is less of a yawn. Interesting - same name, completely different band. But pretty well contemporaneous with the Prestige session. Phil Diaz had been on an earlier (8 July) LJQ session with Shirley Scott. And Art Jenkins was on the LJQ's December 1960 and May 1961 sessions, so it wasn't entirely a bunch of people who had nothing to do with the band... MG Yeah, strange... I guess it isn't the most original name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king ubu Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Finished the "Dig Ben" box by Ben Webster - great one! Some beautiful short sessions on disc 6, the big band sides on disc 7, and on disc 8 the "No Fool No Fun" rehearsals (plus a lovely date with Jimmy Rowles - who shines on the Mulligan Meets Webster album, too!). I also played disc 1 again, a terrific compilation (from three following nights) with Kenny Drew, NHOP and for once Albert Heath (usually it was Alex Riel who I think was nominally the leader of the trio). That's some of the best Webster I've heard on disc 1! Still I don't quite get why that session (from 1968) wasn't programmed in its place, as the box is more or less ordered chronologically. Also since they did do a box with their Webster sessions and they do mention that from these three nights in 1968 there are two hours of music, I don't see why they didn't include some more (and previously unreleased) music, as this is clearly one of the highlights!

They're Japanese Kanji symbols. They're phonetic, so they spell something out. If you grab a Japanese import with sleeve notes, you can probably work, out from looking at the personnel and track titles, what each letter is supposed to sound like (watch out for "L" & "R" - I seem to remember that they leary ah levuhssed ) You can do it while you're waiting for your Christmas dinner to digest MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tranemonk Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 (edited) How is this??? What period does this cover? Does it duplicate what was on the Verve box? And is still available? I managed to listen a few tracks on rhapsody and it sounds great... What's the beef with the Quadromania label?
